Prishepenko lehrt Wieniawskis Faust Fantasie

Violin student Sara Areal Martínez is accompanied by pianist Vadim Gladkov in a masterclass lead by Natalia Prishepenko on Wieniawski's Faust Fantasy. After giving the student some recommendations on bow changes, Professor Prishepenko works with her on some issues, such as rest points in the piece, high notes in pianissimo, positive attitude and facial expression, suitable moments for making vibrato, and orchestral considerations. She also gives explanations on bow direction regarding the phrasing, tempo issues, different staccati in fast passages, and weight of the arm for double stops.
